A MAN FOR ALL TIMES

by

(For President Ronald Reagan)

Perhaps his memory will live on --

Regardless of the time --

Embellished by the things he's done.

Sagacious in his prime,

It seems he was a Lord, in deed!

Despite his common birth,

Evolved neither from common seed,

Nor common types on earth,

Thunder on high will roar his name!

Rainbows, both far and wide,

Obliterating hollow blame --

Naming him "Son", in pride....

As long as other beings will think,

Love, write and sing a song!

Death cannot take him near its brink,

Regardless of the wrong

Emotive minds ascribe to him.

As History often shows,

Great men must sometimes dwell in dim,

And claustrophobic rows....

Nevertheless, time always tears

Asunder all the lies!

Making that future mankind hears --

A truth, devoid of sighs.

Nirvana's pure state for his soul!

Faith being its lure at birth,

Oppressing wrong from Pole to Pole,

Redeeming right on earth!

Although he's A Man for All Times,

Lest we forget, too soon,

Let's praise his name, in song and rhymes,

Towards both sun and moon.

Instill this maxim in your mind:

Mere mortals often fail --

Exalted, still, the few we find,

Sometimes, beyond the pale....
